Pleasant stay in country on
A pleasant stay in an attractive country pub
The room was spacious and thoughtfully decorated. The bed comfortable. The food was good especially the breakfast. It is in a pretty village good for walking outside. Plenty of parking.
Would like to see double glazing on the windows as right by a road. However this isn’ta problem at night as very quiet and peaceful.
The room was exceptional with vaulted beams and chandeliers.
A lovely bathroom with pleasant toiletries but the shower shelf on the edge of the bath needs attention as it is worn and needs repainting.
Overall a lovely experience.

"The Crown in Sturminster Newton is a true gem of a village pub! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by a warm and friendly atmosphere that instantly makes you feel at home. The evening vibe is absolutely fantastic, with the perfect mix of lively energy and cozy comfort. The food is nothing short of amazing—every dish is prepared with care and full of flavor. On top of that, the service is exceptional, with staff who go above and beyond to make your experience special. I can't wait to return to this wonderful pub—it's a standout spot in a charming village!"

We had a very comfortable room for one night. The staff were very welcoming. We had dinner in the pub which was nice, but not exceptional. Breakfast was lovely although you had to decide the night before what you were going to eat.

Staff was helpful and the room was fantastic. Dinner and breakfast were fine. I’m sure it had nothing to do with the hotel, but there was an absolute terrible stench outside when we arrived, it could actually still be smelled in the room. It eventually died down but never went away

Excellent family stay
Excellent family stay.
Highly recommended.
Our only down side comment, the family room could do with an opening window, but as the room was so big, we coped with it.
The Crown has a very interesting historical past.
